Hi, wow, one gorgeous little red mini! He's got the detail spot on, inside and out, very nice indeed! Great vid 😊
Thanks glad you enjoyed
Stunning car mate
Hi all,
no matter how powerful this engine is, 120, 125 or 130 bhp...
the revs and the sound of the exhaust line is magical
I doubt very much that it has 142bhp at the flywheel, mini miglias don't even produce that much power!......lovely car though.
Agreed, not a snow balls chance in hell. Swiftune don't even achieve that.
@@andymurdoch1346 it was probably tuned on peter baldwins dyno, famously known for over reading by about 20%
Great car love it
proper little beast
Probably one of the best Mini's i have seen keeping the original cooper s detailing, keeping original dash with a 45DCOE. External trim is also top notch and true to period, great job and a credit to the owner and his son.
Is defiantly one of the best ones out there. Attention to detail is bang on.
Beautiful classic mini and what a classic
Defiantly!
Great video!
Nice one
Nice car! He's a little excited about the power claim.
Bloody hell
That looks siick
Proper cool car
A 45 on a swan neck manifold like that is easy worse than a pair of 1 1/2 SU,s . Anyone worth their salt knows that , beautiful looking car though
That’s not a swan neck though. A swan neck is a cast alloy manifold that protrudes almost vertically and mounts the carb horizontally. This Mini looks to have a tubular steel manifold which, while short, would perform considerably better than a swan neck.
@@daranleighton9813 steel iron cast alloy it's a bloody awful design, steel inlets at poor performers going through that tight of a turn it's a swan neck, the clue is in the shape not the material, but hey dont take my word for ask vizard, if you think he doesn't know his stuff you have no place commenting in the first place. Make sure you know what you're on about before trying to be s smartarse
@@steveunderhill6570 yes, I agree that the swan neck is awful. My point is that this isn’t a swan neck,. It’s just a short runner manifold to allow the retention of the centre speedo. While not optimum for performance, it seems like a fair compromise and isn’t as bad as a swan neck which is a design that takes a 90 degree turn from the cyl head, travels vertically then takes another 90 degree turn to the horizontal.
Looks mint, sounds mint, Love it👌🏻
Cheers!
Great looking mini, yet 142hp from N/A 1380, what complete rubbish.
I’ve seen the dynos lol
Why ? I’ve got a 1293 pushing 125bhp
@@JustBurnOil and back in the 60s a tuning company possibly ripspeed got a 970s to rev to over 9000rpm. Great days. Wish I still had my Morris cooper 997. Rog.
@@Vehicledefencekeys put it on slarks dyno and see what figures it gets, that engine was probably tuned on Peter Baldwins dyno......which always over reads.
If you take the wheel BHP you can not use the same calculations to work out flywheel BHP with straight cut gears as apposed to helical gears. 130-135BHP sounds closer.
Bloody hell
It’s nippy haha
